MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

It is remarkable how greatly our estimate of ourselves and our qualities differs from tho estimate formed of us by others. If the thing were practicable, many folks would realise heavily by selling themselves at their own valuation (if thsy could find customers), and afterwards buying themselves back on the bauia oi other people's notion of their worth. The more numerous and the harder the blows aimed at our self-couceit iu the days of our youth, the better for us. They pulverise, as it were, the worser part of our nature, and nothing survives the process but what deserves to endure. "And what are you?' asked a Lord Chief Justice of England of a witness who had just given soma ramblim? and discreditable evidence. " 1 employ myself aa * surgeon." said the witness. " But does anybody els* employ yoa as a surgeon t Are yoti a mrgeonf asked the judge. And thereat the witness collapsed. It is claimed for all medicines that they effect cures, though the fact ia that some do and some do not. Mother Bezel's Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for thirby-five years, and is to-day the principal domestic medicine in sixteen different countries. The number of curee it has effected (especially among persons suffering from indigestion and bilious diseases) is quite incalculable. Of the many thousands of testimonials as to its efficaoy voluntarily given, here is an interesting one from a mother and daughter. "For several yearß," writes Mrs Hutchison, of Newcastle Road, Jesmond, N.S.W., on Ootober 19tb, 1902, "I suffered agonies frem indigestion and liver complaint. I eould neither eat, sleep, nor work—m fact, did not know what it was to enjoy a single hour of freedom from pain. I was attended by two of the olevorest medieal men in the Newcastle distriot, bat their treatment failed to bring me any relief. Indeed, I went steadily downhill, and began *e fear that my case was b«vond the aid of medicine. I grew weakly and thin, and became dejected, when, two years ago, I was advised to try what Mother Seigels Curative Syrup could do for me. It was a happy decision, for before I had taken a quarter of the first bottle my health was much improved. I continued to take the medicine according to the directions for five weeks, by the end of which time I was cured. The cure is evidently a permanent one, for I have remained well and sound to the present day." This is good testimony—testimony to be proud of. But it don't stop here. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup tot only cured Mrs Hutchison of her indigestion and liver complaint, but, in the case of ber daughter A K 'nes, arrested the progress of an insidious and dangerous malady which, if allowed to range unchecked, might have had fatal results. Here is Mrs Hutchison's own description of her daughter's case: "My daughter," she says, " was in a yery bad way. She was suffering from aevere nervous debility. She wasted away to ft skeleton, and appeared to have no blood in her body. She was so weakly that sho oould not walk without assistance, and was often oompelied to keep to bed for days together. The doctors seemed to ba much in the dark as to her ailment, and ae impotent in treating her case as they had been in their treatment of mine, so I determined to experiment on her with the medicine which had proved such a boon to myself. The result was that within two months a few bottles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrap ohanged her from a helpless invalid into a hearty, healthy, happy girl. She remains as well aa one could wish her to be." Mrs Hutchison is well known in Jesmond and Lambton, and haa lived in these places for twenty years. She ia a native of Scotland, and came to Australia in 1872.
